7'" '//7 P710/'lf '/'Lf/J/ @0H/WW: i located in the tray-sections, substantially as Be it known that I, EDWARD I). .FROU'iinAN, shown in the drawings, and, as shown, they a citizen of the United States, residing at Alliare inclined downward` so that their front ance, in the county ot' Stark and State of ends will be lower than the rear ends, by .Ohio, have invented certain new and useful which arrangement the credit-slips will slide 55 Improvements in Credit-Cabinets; and I do toward the front or forward ends of the hereby declare that the following is a t'ull, trays. The trays are held in proper position clear, and exact description of the same, ret with reference to their section by means ot' erence being had to the annexed drawings, the connecting-rivets i, which rivets are lerO making a part ot' this speciiication, and to cated at the rear upper corners ot each tray oo the ligures ot' reference marked thereon, in 3, as illustrated in Fig. By providing the whichrivets 4C the trays 3 are pivotally attached to Figure I is a view of the cabinet closed. their casings 2, so that the outer ends of the y Eig. 2 is a view showingI the front portion et' trays can be lifted upward one at a time, or i 5 the cabinet and illustrating the tray-sections, any desired number et' trays may be lit'ted at 65 showing' one of the sections partially removed a single time-as, Vt'or instance, if it is desired from the easing.

In the O moving the same from the casing proper or drawings I have illustrated two doors; but this 90 placing the same in the casingat'ter they have is simply conventional, as it will be underbeen removed. The purpose of providing stood that a single door may be employed tray-sections that can be removed from the without 'departing from the nature ot' my incasing l is to provide a means Vfor placing the vention. 5 tray-sections, together with their trays and For the purpose ot'holding the sectionsQiu 95 the credit-slips contained in said trays, in a proper relative position the lower ends ofthe sate or vault to provide suitable fire protecupper tray-sections are provided with the tion. tangs 8 and 9, which tangs come upon oppo The tray-sections 2 are provided with any site sides of the side members ot'the tray-sec- O desired number of trays 3, which trays are tions Q. 100

In Fig. 2 I have illustrated one of the upper tray-sections partially removed from the casing l to illustrate the manner otremoving the tray-sections from the outer casing.

It will be understood that the tops and bot toms 10 of the tray-casings 2 should be ofless width than the sides, by which arrangement the tangs 8 and 9 are permitted to come upon opposite sides of the side members 2.

It will be understood that by Jforming the tops and bottoms of adjacent tray-sections of a width less than the length of trays, and by normally inclining the trays downward said trays can be lifted upward as indicated in the drawings. It will also be understood that the lifting' or' the trays can be accomplished without regard to the number of tray-sections. owing to the fact that the tops and bottoms l0 are set baclr.

The lower portion of the casing I may be so formed that it will constitute a base for the I support of the casing proper' and may be provided with suitable doors, such as 11, which doors may be either hinged or arranged to slide back after they have been lifted up. This forms no particular part of the present invention, and no detailed description is deemed necessary.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a credit-cabinet, the combination of an outer casing and a series of tray-sections located therein -and detachably connected together. each ot' said tray-sections being provided with trays pivotall y connected thereto atv EDVARD D. TROUTMAN.
